    Hi All

    I built my cnc router some time ago and now I'm about about to move house, I wonder how I'm going to transport it safely.

    Router looks like this

    My initials thoughts are to build a sturdy wooden frame from 4x2 to prevent gantry movement, move the gantry to the centre of the machine and have some handles so it can be lifted by 2 person or hire an engine hoist so that it can be lifted off the supporting table.

    The machine weighs around 100kg so any advice on how to do this safely would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Michael
